What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in software development.

I'm a dedicated software developer with a strong foundation in IT and a passion for creating efficient solutions. Currently, I work at Bluefort, where I develop and maintain AL code using Visual Studio Code and enhance subscription management processes on the Business Central Dynamics 365 platform. My experience includes integrating payment gateways and customizing solutions to improve system efficiency.

Prior to my current role, I served as an Associate Developer at Bluefort, where I honed my skills in AL code development and worked on automating subscription management. My journey in IT began with an ICT apprenticeship at ESI, where I gained hands-on experience in building management and home automation projects. I hold a Bachelor's degree in IT with a focus on Software Development, where I applied machine learning techniques to analyze sentiment trends in news articles.
